crisis of conformity - fist fight!

released: 2011
label: drag city

i remember reading stories about this band's shenanigans back in the day.
like the time the band's vocalist told greg ginn that his guitar playing sounded like a sick cat.
or the time the band's bass player called the ramones hippies and threatened to give them all haircuts.
or that one time the band's vocalist got up on stage at a corrosion of conformity show and punched mike dean in the face and then started screaming that his band was a only C.O.C that mattered into the microphone.
or that one time the band's bass player covered ian mackaye with bologna while he was alseep.
and then there was the time when the band's vocalist got on stage at a butthole surfers show and challenged gibby haynes to a dance contest while covered in cream corn and goat semen and chocolate syrup...and won.

"what about the other members of the band?"

as far as i know they chose to just keep to themselves and read in the van.

it's a wonder that the band even stayed together long enough to release this 7".
those were the daze,bro.

now before all you of "punk rock historians" scramble off to go and try to find any mentioning of any of that business up yonder in your notebooks or you start saying things like "oh man! that shit was crazy at that butthole surfers show!" i'll let you in on a little something....

this was never a band that existed outside of a recording studio.
this band had/has one member.
and that one member's name is fred armisen.
yes.
that fred armisen.
fred armisen of SNL and PORTLANDIA fame.
he's also quite the musician.
he played drums in a band called trenchmouth.
he's played with the blue man group.
he's played with matthew sweet.
he's played with les savy fav.
he's played with blah blah blah....

you're not interested in any of that stuff.
you don't really care for music,do ya?
some people's kids.
